In response to Shriners Hospitals for Children’s new business model, which is moving the organization away from owning and operating acute care hospitals to focusing on outpatient services for young patients, Shriners opened a new three-story, 74,800-square-foot outpatient facility in Pasadena, Calif. Designed by CO Architects (Los Angeles), SRG Partnership (Portland, Ore.), and Rios Clementi Hale Studios (Los Angelels), the Shriners for Children Medical Center, which opened in June 2017, combines surgery rooms, clinical services, rehabilitation spaces, and healing landscapes. The facility also has a three-level underground parking garage for 210 cars. Designers developed creative solutions leveraging evidence-based design strategies that incorporated natural light throughout interior spaces as well as therapeutic gardens to create a supportive environment conducive to well-being, healing, and community.
